152 GYMNOGRAMME, § SYNGRAMME. 



gramme, Moore. Hemionitis elongata, 5rac^". Fil. U. S. Expl. 

 Exp. p. 66. t.8. 



Hab. Island of Jobie, Indian Arcbipelago, Barclay. Fiji islands, Brackenridge, 

 Milne, Harvey, Seemann, 71. 715, Cairns. Ovalau, Milne. — The state with the 

 short scattered oblong sori seems to be much the most common in Fiji and Ova- 

 lau, and the pinnae of such have the broadest sori; the form, however, seems to 

 arise from disease. 



54. G. (D'lcty ogramme) podophylla, Hook.; caudex?, sti- 

 pites 5-6 inches long purple-brown glossy, fronds 2i-4 inches 

 long nearly as much wide firm-subcoriaceous villous above 

 pubescenti-tomentose beneath cordate and quinato-pedate 

 primary divisions deeply pinnatifid with obtuse or acuminate 

 segments, veins anastomosing apparently free near the mar- 

 gin and those soriferous, sori linear soon confluent. (Tab. 

 CCXCVI.) 



Hab. Mexico, between Vera Cruz and Orizaba, F. IlUller, 7i. 719 (communi- 

 cated by Dr. Meisner). Rio Gi-ande, New Mexico, from the U. S. Mexican 

 Boundary Survey, C. Wright, 71. 819. — In my specimens from Dr. F. Miiller, it 

 is quite clear that the veins anastomose ; in other respects the species does not 

 diifer specifically from the G. pedaia, Klfs. (our n. 13). I am a little doubtful of 

 Mr. Wright's specimens. The fronds there are too opaque to enable me to dis- 

 tinguish the true structure of the venation, yet I suspect the two are identical. 



§ 5. Syngramme. — Primary veins parallel, forming very elongated transverse 

 ( areoles, veinlets anastomosing only near the margin. — 6'eK. Syngramme, J. Sm. 

 Callogramme, jPe'e. 



55. G. (Syngramme) quinata. Hook.; caudex?, stipites a 

 span and more long stramineous-brown glossy, fronds firm 

 subcoriaceo-membranaceous quinato-pedate or in other words 

 ternate with the terminal or intermediate pinna 6-14 inches 

 long Ij-S inches broad, lateral ones 6-11 inches long entire 

 with the lowest pair decurrent at the base or bipartite with 

 the lower segment subdeflexed half the size of the one which 

 bears it, all oblongo-lanceolate shortly and suddenly acuminate 

 entire, veins subhorizontally patent approximate simple or 

 rarely forked anastomosing at the margin so as to form a 

 single series of areoles within the margin, sori simple or 

 forked linear occupying more or less of the anastomosing 

 veinlets. (Tab. CCXCVIL) 



Hab. Island of Vanecolla, or Pitt's Island, S. Pacific, C. Moore, n. 12. Salo- 

 mon's Islands, S. Pacific, Milne, n. 579. Borneo, Sarawak, Thos. Lobb. — A very 

 handsome and peculiar species. 



56. G.? (Syngramme?) subti'ifoliata, Hook.; caudex?, sti- 

 pites (imperfect ones) 4 inches long l)rown glossy margined
